Welcome to Colloquy Collective!

Colloquy Collective’s vision is to be an alternative voice in
the popular discourse regarding performance, identity, culture, and art; and to be
a venue for complex theatrical conversations on how social imbalance affects
(and has affected) power, relationships, and history. There is a lack of
dialogue between “traditional” theater and “multicultural” theater that creates
unnecessary conflict, and leaves all sides misinformed. There are traditions
inherent to all communities that effect audience response to performance: the
organization intends to make those traditions available to broader audiences in
order to create holistic theatrical experiences for all those involved

Moreover, Colloquy
Collective will be an institution in which all people can explore the
complexities of their identities through art. Issues of race, sexuality,
ability, age, community, religion, will all be examined through performances,
talkbacks, forums, discussions, and videos presented within the context of what
has come before. New generations of art-experiencers will be exposed to works
that may not be of their community and will be given the tools to recognize and
appreciate that difference. They will also be able to apply and relate their
experience to others. Colloquy Collective’s vision is a conversation where
people rejoice in their differences and connect in their art.
